    Just got emails from Frode Gjerstad and from my editor at the NYC Jazz Record that pianist Borah Bergman has died. He was 78. A player I respected, even if I didn't listen to him often.

    A night of giants - just learning of David S. Ware's passing. Heavy vibe watching the Jemeel Moondoc Quartet perform earlier, and a subsequent nice conversation with Kalaparusha in the subway. Makes me think of Muhal's great title, "Things to come from those now gone."

    Willem van Manen - s/t - (BVHaast) solos, duos w/ Misja Mengelberg, and trios w/ Harry Miller and Martin van Duynhoven. Nice stuff.

    He's also done some artwork for Kendra Steiner Editions CD-Rs (the label has some interesting stuff). I only knew him from Noah's record otherwise, and will definitely seek out the Circus Maximus stuff (I like a lot of those oddball Vanguard jazz-rock-psych LPs).

    Congrats to Kevin Shea and Lesaew Retlaw / UgEXPLODE Records for their wins in the VV Best of NY polls. Now, if that means paying gigs & selling records, I'm all for it.

    Yeah, Wick is a really fine player and a cool dude. That "Tres Hongos" CD is something else.
  23. clifford_thornton
    Yeah, that's a great one, though I do enjoy the Riversides quite a bit too. Still, they don't have Frank Butler and he kills on this LP.

    RIP - excellent player.

    RIP to Webster's dad. I liked that show as a kid.
